About Me

To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift.
-Prefontaine

i aspire to be better then the last man, i aspire to be better then the next man, i aspire to be better then all men, but i often fall short at just being a man. -me

Ive contemplated and rearticulated this section here a myriad of times, but all amounts to this simple gesture.
*holds hand out* Here is my heart.
exploration only requires desire and initiative

My Interests

the 3 primary functions of my life are to learn, to teach, and to grow, as for the rest im a hodgepodge of irony, intellect and intimacy. i love conversations, protein shakes, people who try to put me in boxes, laughing at all the wrong moments, fiber rich diet, talking ears off, trains of thought, asking the tough question, being judged by people who dont like to be judged, brutal but affectionate honesty, you aint artsier then me types, just add milk muffins, quoting movies, iron body be my hobby, my homosexual and hetero life mates, concerts, homemade pizza, writing my heart out, philosophizzzing, photography, psychology, pain, happiness, self reflection, self awareness and self revolution. What is a man with out some change? Challenge me.

I'd like to meet:

those few who see the beauty in their ugly reflection.
Id love to get to know everyone or just the one I call the one.
Which first require, a person or a desire, to know themselves.
Knowledge of self above all else.

oh and if it wasn't clear reciprocity.
